Remarkable Gas Flow.

PAoLA, Kan, May 11.-One Of the mos
remarkable flows of natural gas was struck
today in well No. 2, in the Boon field by
the Paola Natural Gas Co. An infOrma
test was being made and the guage was ap
piled Just two minutes and fifty seconds
when with great force it was thrown up
ward to the top of the derrick, distance
of seventy-five feet. The casing was one
hundred and fifty feet long, eight inches in
diameter, and when it struck the top Of the
derrick it broke off the guage. This gave
vent to the gas and thus causing it to re
sumo its position in the well. 1t is impos
siblc to give the correct pressure at present
but the company intend as soon as possible
to ascertain its power.

Workman Powderly was today shown the
telegram from Chicago on Monday which
stated that the particulars mad been sent to
all the prominent labor assemblies of Cal
ifornia Oregon, Colorado, Nebraska, Hi
nois, Michigan and Missouri by Assembly
No. s, 1873 of Portland, Oregon, denounc-
ing him for rejoicing at the result of the
Chicago municipal election and demanding
that he be deposed from office. Mr.. Pow
derby stated that there was no truth in the
report and the publication is sufficient
evidence of its untruthfulness. If the
Knights have ,guarrels or grievances they
do not rush into print; they have their own
courts, and any charges against me will be
brought up in assembly meeting in regular
form. The handful of anarchists in this
country have been making all sorts of
moves in order to gain admission into the
Knights of Labor and cause dissatisfaction
Thus far they have failed, and every few
weeks they attempt to spread over the
country through the newspapers the report
of some new oissatis faction in the ranks of
our organization. Mr. Powderly leaves
for the east to night.
